I have a date

Thanks, Dawn!  If I learned one thing about you from reading these posts, I know you are determined!  You keep fighting that insurance battle!  Jules

Congrats Jules!!!  We are both having Lap Band with the same surgeon so I will be following you to see what im in for........Best of luck with the surgery!!!!! You will do fine!

Hi Marisa, thank you!  I thought I knew all there was to know about the lap band surgery but now that's it's two weeks away, I'm riddled with questions!  I'll be happy to answer your questions when it's your turn (which will be here sooner than you can imagine!)  Jules

Congrats Jules! Good luck with the liquid diet. Try drinking more water or even Crystal Light drinks, that might help curb the appitite.  I too plan on starting early with the liquids when it's time.  Stay strong...it'll get easier with time (that's what everyone says...lol) 

Thanks!  I'm off to pre op testing shortly then the liquid diet begins!  I'm pretty much ready for it - been doing a lot of praying on it! 

Congrats on getting your date, Jules! It will be here before you know it. Try not to stress too much about the liquid diet - I did mine this past January, and "cheated" at a Superbowl party. I felt really guilty, but it didn't do any harm. Just do your best and you'll be fine. I'm moving over to make room for you on the bench!

  WOW Krista, look at you!  Ten pounds for goal!  You have done an awesome job and should be so proud of yourself!  I am ready for that liquid diet - bring it on!  LOL  Ask me in three days if I feel the same!  LOL  Thanks for the well wishes!  Jules

That's great!!!
